Zeuxis defeats Willow Nightingale for Women’s title at CMLL 91st Anniversary Show

A new CMLL Women’s Champion has been crowned.

Zeuxis defeated Willow Nightingale to win the title for the first time. The finish of the match had Zeuxis pinning Nightingale after hitting an avalanche powerbomb.

Nightingale’s reign with the title ended after 61 days. She defeated Viva Van and Lluvia in a three-way match to become the new champion at CMLL x NJPW Fantasticamania in San Jose on July 13. Just days before, Stephanie Vaquer had been stripped of the CMLL Women’s title and the CMLL Women’s Tag Team title due to leaving the promotion to join WWE. Zeuxis had been CMLL Women’s Tag Team Champion with Vaquer.

On AEW television, Nightingale had lost to Kris Statlander in what originally was a CMLL Women’s Championship title eliminator match. A title match had been set for All Out earlier this month, with the two squaring off in a street fight. However, it was announced shortly before the show that CMLL would not sanction the title match. The two instead had a non-title street fight, with Statlander picking up the victory.
